[Intro]
(Driving synth b**t starts, guitar riff joins)
(Verse 1)
Suitcase full of receipts, another runway gleams
Vegas lights, Paris nights, Florida sunbeams
San Diego coast, a temporary scene
Tatiana's movin', a workin' girl machine
Got a little vial, takes the edge away
Rick Simpson oil helps her face the day
Chases the high, makes the pressure fade
Another city, another deal she's made
[Chorus]
Oh, she's runnin' on jet fuel and neon dreams
Got the world on a string, or so it seems
From the boardroom buzz to the midnight streams
Tatiana's livin' fast, tearin' at the seams
[Verse 2]
But when the wheels touch down in Nyack town
She trades the skyline for streets that know her sound
Olive's is buzzin', her people gather 'round
Local misfits, feet planted on the ground
They share a laugh, they pass the smoke around
A different kind of high, a solace that is found
Her roots run deep here, though they were never planned
Born in Russia, raised by a different hand
[Chorus]
Oh, she's runnin' on jet fuel and neon dreams
Got the world on a string, or so it seems
From the boardroom buzz to the midnight streams
Tatiana's livin' fast, tearin' at the seams
[Bridge]
And a phone call home brings a different pain
Her mother's voice fading, lost within the rain
Of tangled memories, a fading, fragile chain
Tatiana feels the pull, the love, the strain
Should she fly back west, leave Nyack behind?
Hold her mother close, a different life defined?
Or keep this coast apartment, waiting for the sign
'Til Vegas calls them both, or crosses the thin line?
[Verse 3]
She finds her church beneath the strobe light's flash
A Lady Gaga concert, feelin' the c***h
Of bass and brilliance, spendin' all her cash
To see the Queen again, escape the daily brash
Screams "Born This Way" loud, feels the pure release
A moment of pure freedom, sweet, chaotic peace
Forgets the miles, the worries, the unease
Lost in the music, brought down to her knees
[Chorus]
Oh, she's runnin' on jet fuel and neon dreams
Got the world on a string, or so it seems
From the boardroom buzz to the midnight streams
Tatiana's livin' fast, tearin' at the seams
(Oh, tearing at the seams...)
[Outro]
(Synth b**t becomes slower, more reflective, guitar fades)
Nyack streetlights blur, the RSO haze
Balancing two worlds through the endless days
A suitcase by the door, in a restless phase
Jet fuel and neon, her complicated maze...
(Synth b**t lingers, then fades out)
